the cognitive dissonance of wanting so desperately to read and yet not being able to. there is a mental block in my head and i am both the one who is building it and the one scratching away at it with my nails
Do the work that is at hand. Do not worry about the 10 year plan on a day to day basis - yes, have a general idea at hand, a place where you want to be, and principles to follow. A purpose. But on a daily basis? Do the work. Do it to the best of your ability. Be world-class at this, no matter how humble the task might be. Take opportunities when they come, remain flexible. Focus, maintain good habits, try to learn, try to reflect. Get enough sleep. Eat good food. Move.
Learn the skill of delaying your response when faced with someone who is intentionally trying to provoke you. Refuse to let others dictate your mood. Take charge of your emotions. You decide when, how, and whether you want to to react. You control yourself, no one else does.
If you can't control yourself. You will be easily controlled.
By your emotions, your desires, and other people.
“I know I’m not easy to love. I’m a chronic over-thinker. I overreact more than I should…And every once in a while, I might be a little insecure. But if I am in love with you, I can promise you wholeheartedly that you will be loved with so much passion and intensity that you’ll forget what life felt like before I came along. You will always be cared for and you will always have someone in your corner. Maybe I’m not the best at being loved - But I like to think I’m pretty good at loving.”
— Chelsea Carroll
“Never obsess about chasing love. Chase goals. Chase dreams. Chase the behaviors that are going to make you better. You don’t chase love; you allow that to find you by accident, and when it finds you on accident, you’ll know that it was supposed to find you purposely.”
— Sylvester McNutt
“That’s how you can tell that you’re filling yourself with the wrong things. You use a lot of energy, and in the end, you feel emptier and less comfortable than ever.”
— Glennon Doyle Melton
Your energy needs to PROTECTED. If you want to move out from this stuck, getting no where place then you need to start protecting your energy. No wasting your energy on social. It zaps you. No messages with people. They zap you. Switch off notifications until you’ve done what you need to. Your energy is that important, your dreams are that important. You need to respect your time and energy on a whole new level.
Sanar siempre dependerá de ti, aunque no haya sido culpa tuya.

Me cuestioné esto, y entendí que nunca me quiso, nunca valoró cada granito y amor que le di y en especial nunca aceptó la verdadera realidad.

"El amor ni se exige ni se mendiga. Ni tratando de dar pena, ni con agresividad se reenamora a nadie. Da igual lo duros que sean el chantaje y el castigo: no hay hechizos, ni fórmulas mágicas, ni dinero, ni trucos para cambiar los sentimientos de los demás; no hay manera de despertar el amor o reiniciarlo. Lo único que podemos hacer es aceptar la realidad, evitar las luchas de poder, y tratar de sufrir lo menos posible".
